Chapter 142 Eavesdropping
"This person's movement skills are exquisite."

Seeing the back of the man in white robe leaving, Bai Shu didn't chase after him.

From the way the man evaded his capture just now, Bai Shu can tell at a glance that this man has extremely light kung fu.

"I really don't know which school this person is a master of, but he has practiced such exquisite lightness kung fu."

But he was just curious for a moment, seeing the figure of the man disappearing at the end of the road, Bai Shu pulled the rein and urged the horse to rush towards Lujiazhuang.

A few days later, Bai Shu came to Lujiazhuang next to Dongting Lake.

Because the beggar gang is about to hold a martial arts competition with the Mingjiao, when they came to the vicinity of Lujiazhuang, Bai Shu noticed that the number of martial arts fighters with knives and swords on the street increased significantly.

This saved Baizhu a lot of trouble. After a little inquiry, he found out that the beggars' gang were temporarily staying in a restaurant called "Guiyun Tower".

Leading the horse, Bai Shu came to Guiyun Tower.

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, this restaurant is temporarily taken over by the beggar gang's elders...how about going to look elsewhere?"

Seeing Bai Shu leading the horse over, a shop waiter hurriedly said with a smile.

"It's okay, you go in and help me to tell Gang Leader Shi, just say Wei Bi..."

Before Bai Shu finished speaking, he heard a burst of surprise laughter from behind him: "Brother Wei, is that you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Shu also showed a smile on his face, and when he turned around, he saw Shi Huolong looking at him in surprise.

"Haha, Brother Wei, it really is you!"

Seeing that it was really Wei Bi, Shi Huolong laughed and hugged Bai Shu together: "Come here, this is not a place to talk, let's go upstairs to talk."

Bai Shu handed the bay red horse to Xiaoer, and followed Shi Huolong upstairs.

Entering the restaurant, Bai Shu found that all the beggars in rags were coming and going in the restaurant. Obviously, as the waiter said, the restaurant was taken over by the gang of beggars.

"Help Master!"

"Help Master!"

Seeing Shi Huolong coming back, two elderly beggars in knotted clothes and nine small cloth bags behind their backs came out to welcome him.

"Brother Wei, let me introduce you. These two are the elders who teach the skills and the elders who enforce the laws of our beggar gang."

As he spoke, he said to the two elders of the beggar gang: "Elders, this is what I often tell you, brother Wei Biwei who healed my arms well."

"This junior has met the two elders."

Bai Shu smiled and clasped fists at the two of them.

"Brother Wei doesn't have to be like this. Since you are the brother of the gang leader, then we have no outsiders, and we are all called brothers."

The elder Chuan Gong said with a smile.

"That's right, we're all brothers."

Before Bai Shu could speak, Shi Huolong clapped his hands and laughed, agreeing for Bai Shu.

Afterwards, Shi Huolong entered his room with Bai Shao.

After taking his seat, Shi Huolong asked: "Brother Wei, did you find Peach Blossom Island after you went out to sea?"

"Not only did I find Peach Blossom Island, but I also brought good news to Brother Shi."

Bai Shu said with a smile.

"good news?"

Shi Huolong asked in surprise, "What good news?"

Bai Shu smiled slightly, and said word by word: "The complete version of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

"what?!"

Hearing these words, Shi Huolong sat up from his chair in shock and looked at Bai Shu in disbelief: "Brother Wei, are you kidding and deliberately trying to make me happy?"

You must know that as the leader of the beggar gang, the wish he has been thinking about for decades is to be able to rediscover all the true teachings of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"Brother Shi, how could I make such a joke with you?"

As he said that, Bai Shu recounted his experience after going to sea. Of course, he deliberately omitted the things about Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber, as well as the Nine Yin Manual.

"Unexpectedly, Taohua Island still has the original handwriting of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. This is really an impermanent world."

Shi Huolong said with a sigh.

"Brother Shi, here you go."

Bai Shu took out the cheat book of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from his pocket and put it on the table.

Seeing the five big characters of Jianglong Eighteen Palms written on the cover, Shi Huolong stretched out his hand subconsciously, but the moment his finger was about to touch the book cover, he withdrew his finger as if electrocuted.

"what happened?"

Bai Shu was surprised.

"No, I can't just accept it,"

Shi Huolong glanced at the secret book on the table reluctantly, and said seriously: "Although this book is the secret book of my beggar gang, it was obtained by you, Brother Wei, at the risk of your life. How can I accept it with peace of mind? Down?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Huolong would say such a thing, and Bai Shu was taken aback.

But Shi Huolong had already said to himself: "But the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is indeed an important martial art of this gang... How about it, brother Wei, why don't you join our beggar gang?"

"what?"

Bai Shu blinked and said with a broken smile, "Brother Shi, you want me to join the Beggar Gang?"

"That's right!"

Shi Huolong said seriously: "Brother Wei, as long as you join the beggar gang, brother, I promise here that I will immediately teach you the dog-beating stick method that is not passed down by the gang leader, and it will not exceed three years at the most. After I am familiar with the affairs in the house, I will pass on the position of the leader to you!"

"No, Brother Shi, I know you want to express your gratitude to me by saying that, but I didn't expect to ask Brother Shi to repay you for anything!"

Bai Shu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Not to mention that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are originally the palms of your Beggar Clan, and I also learned all the eighteen palms privately without your consent, Brother Shi. This is also Is this considered compensation?"

"No no no, that's totally different."

Shi Huolong still insisted on thanking Bai Shu.

Bai Shao naturally insisted on not accepting it.

The two shied away for a while, and Bai Shu finally said: "Well, Brother Shi, since you want to repay me so much, why don't you promise me three conditions?"

"Oh? Which three conditions?"

Shi Huolong patted his chest and said: "Brother Wei, just talk, no matter whether it's going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, I, Shi, will never frown."

"I haven't made up my mind about the three specific conditions. I'll tell Brother Shi when I think about it. What do you think?"

Bai Shu said the prepared speech.

"Ok?"

Shi Huolong was stunned, and then he realized that the so-called not thinking about it was probably Bai Shu's excuse, and he said so just to let himself accept the secret book with peace of mind.

"Brother Wei!"

After understanding Bai Shu's intentions, Shi Huolong was moved a lot, with tears in his eyes, and said solemnly: "I know Brother Wei just said this to comfort me, but don't worry, from today onwards, we all owe you three years. This condition, as long as you open your mouth, you will go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate, if you violate it... God hates it!"

"Brother Shi, why are you doing this!"

Hearing Shi Huolong make such a solemn oath, Bai Shu couldn't help but smile wryly.

"It's okay, only in this way can I accept the cheat book of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with peace of mind."

Shi Huolong didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After he laughed, he couldn't wait to get the cheat book in his hand.

"That's right, that's right, it really is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that have been lost by our gang."

After a while, Shi Huolong excitedly said to Bai Shu, "This is the real Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

Although he only learned the Twelve Palms from his master, but in terms of understanding of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, even Baishu may not be as good as him.

Therefore, after only a hasty look, he was sure that this was the real Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"It's really good."

Naturally, Bai Shu knew that this was definitely the real Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and just smiled when he heard it.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Shi Huolong put the cheat book of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms into his arms, and said calmly.

"Help Master!"

The law enforcement elder came in from the door, took a look at Bai Shu, and said with a smile: "Master, it's getting late, brother Wei came from a long way, he should be hungry after all, why don't we have dinner now."

"That's right!"

Shi Huolong patted his forehead, and said: "Look at my memory...Brother Wei, let's go, let's go eat first."

When they came to the banquet, after pushing the cups and changing the dishes, everyone in the Beggar Clan discovered that Shi Huolong was really very kind to Bai Zhu. Basically, he would personally put a chopstick on Bai Shu for every dish.

"It seems that the relationship between the leader and Mr. Wei is really good."

"That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them didn't look alike, I would almost have thought that Mr. Wei was the nephew of Chief Shi."

"If it's just to heal the gang leader's arms, the gang leader wouldn't be like this, right?"

"I don't know, is it possible that Mr. Wei has some identity that we don't know about?"

Seeing Shi Huolong's concern for Baishu, all the beggars talked in low voices.

How powerful Bai Shu is, even though the voices of the beggars were very low, he could still hear it clearly.

Especially when someone suspected that he might be related to Shi Huolong, the corners of Bai Shu's mouth twitched.

Nimei, don't you know what your leader looks like?

Deliberately wanting to leave the banquet, but seemed too impolite, but facing Shi Huolong's warm hospitality, Bai Shu couldn't refuse, could only turn a deaf ear to everyone's discussion, and continued to eat in embarrassment.

Just when he wished that the banquet would end quickly, his ears moved suddenly, and he heard a very slight sound of footsteps coming from outside.

"Ok?"

Bai Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly. Judging from the opponent's footsteps, it was obvious that the person who came was an extremely skilled master in Qinggong.

"Who is so bold that he dares to explore Guiyun Tower alone at night?"

Bai Shu was secretly surprised.

You must know that the entire Guiyun Tower was taken over by the Beggars' Gang. If one was not careful, the visitor would face the siege of the top experts of the entire Beggars' Gang.

But the person who came here was obviously extremely confident in his lightness skills, so he hung upside down like a bat on the eaves outside, quietly listening to the conversations of the people in the house.

Seeing the people eavesdropping so recklessly, Bai Shu thought to himself that the people who came were probably members of the Ming Cult, and immediately asked deliberately: "Brother Shi, in the martial arts competition in three days' time, are we sure we can win?"

"Haha, Brother Wei, if it wasn't for us to spoil our own prestige with others' aspirations before, the outcome would be hard to say."

Shi Huolong chuckled and said, "But now...it's completely different."

Three days is not long, but it is not short.

For him who has been immersed in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for decades, this time is enough time for him to master all the remaining four moves.

At that time, his strength will be much improved compared to now.

Hearing Shi Huolong's words of confidence, although the others didn't know why, they all applauded in agreement.

"Hey hey hey..."

When all the beggars were making noise, they heard a sharp and cold laughter suddenly coming from outside the window: "I know that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggar Clan are famous all over the world, but I didn't expect that the bragging skills are not bad at all. It's really admirable, admirable!"
